How to Restore Disabled iPhone without iTunes?

An earlier coverage on this topic referred to how you can restore your iPhone when you have forgotten the passcode. With appropriate backups taken, you can easily restore your device and bypass the passcode requirement.

However, when you have never backed up your iPhone in iTunes (even once), chances of data recovery are very thin. There are, of course, some workarounds that you can explore.

Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS for Mac is a workflow that allows you to selectively recover your iPhone data without iTunes and save them on your Mac. Moreover, they can help you find your previously lost data.
